This is a beautiful, blue-flowered plant with a long blooming period (most of August and September). The plants will grow three to five feet tall, but can be pinched back until late July to keep them shorter. Pinching off tops when the stems are almost finished blooming can stimulate new flowers in October.
This is a striking plant for the summer and fall seasons in dry, sunny locations. It offers a nice contrast to the yellow goldenrods that are also blooming at this time.
Uses: Deer & drought resistant, showy flowers, bees, butterflies, hummingbirds
Bloom time: August & September
Height: 3 to 5 feet
Space: 16 to 20 inches
Sun: Full sun to light shade
Moisture: Dry to average
